The Community Resource Centre
Based on
We open at 1pm inviting people to engage in a range of activities available at the centre in a safe and friendly environment. Throughout the day tea and biscuits are available and a hot meal is provided at 7pm. Our services include an internet cafe, movies and documentaries, a well stocked library of books and various board games and a clothes store providing clothing, blankets and sleeping bags to people in need.
The Project Coordinator works closely with a number of statutory organisations and agencies, such as the Single Rough Sleepers Team and Drugline signposting individuals to services they provide. These agencies attend the Drop In to provide one to one support. The Project Coordinator also works closely with a number of Landlords in order to help individuals with obtaining sustainable accommodation.
If people need help on a one to one basis they can telephone 07763 800352 and the Project Coordinator will arrange to see them during the week by appointment.
During the evening there are two courses available for people who are interested in finding out more about the Christian faith, or who wish to move on in their faith and begin to develop it in a constructive way.
ReVive starts at 6pm with a hot meal followed by fellowship, friendship and spiritual guidance. The vision behind ReVive was to provide an alternative way of worshiping for people who would not normally venture into the customary Church setting or associate with some of the people who did. The fact that the meeting is held on a Saturday takes it out of the norm and allows us the opportunity to invite a different Christian Church to come along and provide a service each week.
The worship service takes place between 7pm and 8pm and it’s not compulsory to attend, however, the number of people that do attend is in the region of 40 to 50 people. When the service is over the kitchen and food store is reopened for those in need.
